A file picture dated on 14 June 2019 shows the Kuluba archaeological place, where authorities have confirmed a 55-meters large palace has been found, in Yucatan state, Mexico (issued 28 December 2019).
The researchers from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) believe the palace was an “enclave” of the famous Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá, in the Yucatan province.
The Kulubá site was identified as a palace after workers uncovered the base, staircases and a crossing.

Archaeologists think the palace was occupied twice: once in the Late Classic period (600-900 AD) and the other in the Terminal Classic period (850-1050 AD).
Bodies discovered during the uncovering of the palace will also be examined, and the INAH said future anthropological examinations could determine the sex, age, pathologies and even the habits of those Mayans.
